The story
My name is Fañch. I was born in Quimper, Brittany, and grew up hearing Breton spoken around me by my grandparents and my mother.
Like many Bretons of my generation, I never learned the language as a child. Back then, Breton was often seen as a language of the past.
A few years ago, I decided to do something about it.
KeltiaWave was born from a simple idea: if technology can connect the world, it can also help keep Brittonic languages alive.
What started with Breton is now expanding to Welsh and, hopefully, Cornish. My goal is simple: to build useful tools that help people learn, share and enjoy these languages.
A small contribution to a language, a big adventure for me.
